The action stems from an ongoing investigation into allegations that Mr. Agbeti engaged the services of a uniformed military officer as a personal bodyguard during public events without the required authorisation.
According to sources, the Office of the President lodged a formal complaint, prompting the Minister for Communications to act.
A suspension directive was subsequently issued to allow for a full probe into the misconduct allegations.
A letter signed by the Secretary to the President, Dr. Callistus Mahama, on July 15, 2025, expressed the presidency’s strong disapproval of Mr. Agbeti’s conduct.
It described his use of a uniformed soldier as “inappropriate” and said the incident had brought embarrassment to the government.
The two-week suspension is expected to allow the relevant authorities to complete their investigation and determine any further disciplinary action.
